NIBS 35 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 was wanting to know thoughts on whippet/saluki xgreyhound and see a few pic many thanks Quote Link to post
dogmad riley 1,344 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Have got one here just turned a year old. Don't know how to upload photos. He is very fast. Has plenty of prey drive although not being tested properly yet. Training wise he has taken it all in sit, stay, down. Recall good although has had a few blips but seems to have gone away now. Retrieving not the best and everything he has caught he make sure it's dead before he gives it up. Has been ferreting and done everything asked of him. Lamping still waiting for the right night and rabbit as to give him the best start. Up to yet I am happy with him. Atb Edited October 4, 2013 by dogmad riley 1 Quote Link to post
whitefeet4190 1,725 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have a first cross saluki whippet he is 2 now and still a bit unsure of him, he is my first saluki x and I am used to 3/4 bull greys but different dogs for different jobs and all that but @ 2 I'd expect to know if I was happy with the dogs work or not but as I have been told and found out salukis are funny dogs Quote Link to post

I'v always worried about size TK haha yeh the wee fly dog was great wee dog alright ,was just wondering was that cross ok i'v never had any saluki crosses in my day there was'nt many exotic breeds about Quote Link to post
BOLIO1 1,078 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 You'll remember the wee Rum dog Nibs...a bit before TK's time...but he was bred that way, although not in the same league as Fly. I bred him to the whippet bitch, Daisy, and gave the Sparky pup to my young sister? He killed some stuff before she went all emotional on me and quit hunting! 1 Quote Link to post
